Revision Techniques
Everyone has different revision preferences but remember as John D Clare advises...

THE ONE MUST
"Never just read your notes.
You must always be DOING something with them to FIX the information
in your brain."

This blank template may help you organise your ideas in preparation for the essay section of the exam. Use the Key Questions sections of review notes and the 'big ideas' we have discussed in class and create a mindmap or use the 5 paragraph essay template to organise your ideas. Or do both! Mindmaps are great for remembering and developing ideas about how factors link.
